Confidentiality Agreement (One-Way)

Experience the mode.law Difference in Legal Documents

What sets mode.law documents apart from traditional legal templates? Our approach focuses on a tailored, interactive experience, similar to a lawyer’s consultation. We ask the same questions a lawyer would during an initial interview, using conditional logic to add or remove text based on your answers. This results in a highly relevant first draft, requiring minimal revisions and potentially no additional tailoring at all!

Editable and Dynamic Microsoft Word Documents

Unlike many document automation services, mode.law generates Microsoft Word documents instead of PDFs. This ensures complete editability and maintains cross-references, allowing easy updates. Our documents can reference other clauses within the same document, ensuring a robust legal drafting tool remains available. Many automation services avoid cross-references for technical reasons, but mode.law embraces them for added efficiency and precision.

Safeguard Your Sensitive Information with a One-Way Confidentiality Agreement

A One-Way Confidentiality Agreement, also known as a Unilateral Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), is an essential legal tool when you need to protect sensitive information shared by your business with another party. By clearly defining the terms and conditions of handling your confidential information, this agreement ensures that your valuable information and intellectual property remain secure.

Protect Your Business’s Confidential Information

When your business shares sensitive information with another party, it’s crucial to ensure that they will maintain confidentiality and not use your information against your interests. A One-Way Confidentiality Agreement specifically safeguards the confidential information disclosed by your business, while the other party’s information is considered low-risk or not confidential.

Define the Purpose

A One-Way Confidentiality Agreement allows you to specify the purpose of the information being shared. By clearly outlining how the information can be used and identifying any limitations, you maintain control over your proprietary knowledge and prevent potential misunderstandings.

Build Trust and Confidence

By implementing a One-Way Confidentiality Agreement, you demonstrate your commitment to maintaining the confidentiality of shared information, fostering trust and confidence between your business and the other party.

Ideal for Asymmetric Information Exchange

A One-Way Confidentiality Agreement is the perfect choice when your business is the only party sharing sensitive information, or when the other party’s confidential information is minimal or low-risk. This agreement ensures that your business’s valuable information remains protected, while not imposing unnecessary obligations on the other party.

When to Talk to a Lawyer or Get a Quote

While our agreement template provides a solid starting point for businesses seeking to protect sensitive information, there may be situations where additional guidance is necessary. You should Talk to a Lawyer or Get a Quote if you:

1. Want advice on the specifics of your One-Way Confidentiality Agreement
2. Need assistance tailoring the agreement to your unique business needs
3. Encounter complex or unique circumstances that require specialised legal expertise

We recommend consulting a lawyer (such as Attune Legal) if you need help tailoring an agreement to your business needs. This will ensure that your agreement accurately reflects your expectations, while protecting your interests and complying with the law.

Tailoring

Tailoring is when a lawyer customizes an automated legal document to meet your specific needs. This process starts with a consultation, after which you will complete a form to generate the initial draft of the document (if you haven’t already generated a DIY legal document). The lawyer will amend the document in line with what was discussed during the consultation, then send it to you for review. Once all reviews are complete the document will be finalised for use, or eSigning (if applicable).

Reviews

A review is when you send feedback to the lawyer on a tailored document, and they make changes or respond to your comments. Feedback should be made by commenting directly within the document. Tailoring includes two reviews as standard. This is usually more than sufficient. Additional reviews may be charged separately if needed, so it is recommend you thoroughly check and comment on the document before returning it to the lawyer.

eSigning

eSigning is when a document is executed by collecting an electronic signature from a party to make it legally binding, instead of printing and signing on paper. This is achieved by using a third-party service such as HelloSign that will send a link to the email of each party required to sign the document. The recipient will then follow the link and sign the document using their computer or mobile device. The system will record when they viewed and signed the document as well as from which IP Address. We recommend all our documents be signed electronically, and will manage the process for each tailored document with which eSigning is included.

Document Automation

Mode.law offers document automation services in addition to our tailoring services. If a tailored document is intended to be used repeatedly, mode.law can create a reusable form within your mode.law account. The form can be used to generate new documents based on your tailored template. The form will complete the main variable information that will differ such as (for example) new counter parties, purchase orders or statements of work. This speeds up your business processes, and makes things efficient to tailor when you need a few additional changes. Fees for document automation can be quoted during a consultation.
